FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22

1:00–2:00 pmCentre Dental by Nora Schultz
In her Centre Dental series, Nora Schultz turns to the dematerialization and activation of sculptures. Filmed with drone cameras and moved by hidden performers, the haptic quality of the sculptures recedes into the background in service of the overall appearance of the film, allowing the sculptures to become temporary actors in the film. Studio Manuel Raeder designed in collaboration with the artist an homonymous magazine, Centre Dental, that forms part of the work as well as the current installation at Kunstverein Braunschweig. In conversation with the curator, Christina Lehnert, the artist will present this magazine published BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE.

2:00 – 3:00pmdos, with Dan Byers, Sarah Demeuse, Sarah Hromack, Ariana Reines
dos (dos-dos.org) is a new podcast series and website that commissions and edits conversations in exhibitions. A crossover of radio-play and exhibition walkthrough, dos highlights the connection between subjective experience and meaning, and it considers listening a crucial part of criticism.
The classroom will function as dos recording studio for the forthcoming conversation between Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy and Angie Keefer in the Meirle Laderman Ukeles retrospective. Their parts will be interpreted by Dan Byers and Ariana Reines. Sarah Hromack will be the episode’s host.
On time arrival recommended.

3:00 – 4:00pmOn An Iron Post: A Screening of Video Works by Simone Forti
Hesse Press presents a screening in celebration of the release of On An Iron Post. The images in On An Iron Post are from Simone’s solo show of the same name, which took place at The Box LA in 2015. The pages accumulate like a day of experiences with different energies: abrasive, lyrical, pedestrian, adding up to something complex but without closing in on any particular meaning. There are images of the video Flag in the Water, of a sculpture built out of steel originally sketched in a notebook way back in 1961, and even of a small painting of a sink. Flag in the Water, as well as two other recent video works will be presented.

4:00 – 5:00pmDandy Lion: The Black Dandy and Street Style, with Larry Ossei-Mensah, Shantrelle P. Lewis and Olaronke Akinmowo
Moderated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Shantrelle P. Lewis and Olaronke Akinmowo, founder of the Free Black Women’s Library, discuss the role of photography and Black men’s style as a form of personal politics across the Diaspora in honor of Lewis’s new book, Dandy Lion: The Black Dandy and Street Style, a project that explores global Black dandyism. These men and women of African descent use style and fashion to define and inhabit a proud, radically independent public persona and cultural heritage. In the vein of Malick Sidibe and Seydou Keita, contemporary photographers capture their revolutionary spirit and sartorial attire in this internationally renowned project.

5:00 – 6:00pmPaint & Polish, Chicago street style, from the Land of Lady Hustlers, with Helen Maurene Cooper, Roula Seikaly, Jackee Blue and Glynnus Alexander
The book, Paint & Polish, Cultural Economy and Visual Culture From the West Side, visually codifies a self-selected and almost clandestine community of Latin and African-American women who work as nail artists on the northwest side of Chicago. This community of salons is linked by mothers and daughters and by cross-mentorships, which has allowed for long term growth and the financial stability of many women. The author, Helen Maurene Cooper, has collaborated with nail artists and salon owners for over eight years. Paint & Polish documents and elaborates on these relationships and structures. Join us for a spirited conversation on nail art, design, books, labor and power, moderated by contributing writer Roula Seikaly. Panel members include nail artists/salon owners Jackee Blue and Glynnus Alexander, publisher Freek Lomme, and author/photographer Helen Maurene Cooper. Presented by Onomatopee

6:00 – 7:00pmThe Dead Supreme, with Allissa Bennett and Scott Covert
Writer Allissa Bennett joins artist Scott Covert to discuss dark themes and enigmatic characters. Both Bennett and Covert have new books debuting at the NYABF. Bennett is releasing I Expected Something Nice, the fourth installment in her Dead is Better series. Covert debuts The Dead Supreme, a book of photos and texts documenting the past 30 years of his life which consists of living in a van, visiting graves, and creating stone-rubbing-based paintings. Bennett and Covert share their knowledge of celebrity crimes, despair and vice which appears prominently in both of their works. Presented by HEINZFELLER NILEISIST.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23

12:00 – 1:00pmUnder the Radar: Underground Zines and Self-Publications 1965 – 1975, with Tania Prill
Tania Prill, Swiss graphic designer and co-editor of the book Under the Radar: Underground Zines and Self-Publications will introduce the audience into the world of hectographs, mimeographs, and offset printing of the mid-1960s when small, low-cost print runs with their unique aesthetic were developed: using wild mock-ups, “messianic amateurs” combined typescript aesthetics, handwriting, scribbled drawings, assemblages of collaged visuals, porn photos, snapshots, and comic strips. This book is the first to present the underground and self-published works that came out of West Germany in such depth, while also showing the international context in which they emerged: not as an anecdotal history but as an attempt to tap into the aesthetic cosmos of a Do-It-Yourself rebellion, one that also challenges us to take a new look at the current boom in “independent publishing”, the risograph aesthetic, and so on. Presented by Spector Books.

1:00 – 2:00pmThe Serving Library Annual 2017/18
The inaugural issue of The Serving Library Annual is published by ROMA Publications (Amsterdam), conceived and produced in partnership with Public Fiction (Los Angeles), and dedicated to the theme of “conscientious objection”. It features contributions from Hilton Als, Tauba Auerbach, Octavia Butler, Anne Carson, Valentina Desideri & Denise Ferreira da Silva, Chris Evans, Angie Keefer, Library Stack (Benjamin Tiven & Erik Wysocan), Marcos Lutyens, Adrian Piper, Jack Self (Real Review), Patrick Staff, Frances Stark & Ian Svenonius, and Martine Syms. These Bulletins double as Public Fiction’s own Conscientious Objector issue and will play a role in an exhibition by the same name opening in Los Angeles in February 2018. Join us for a conversation on the politics of distribution with curator and writer Sarah Demeuse, editors Angie Keefer (The Serving Library) and Lauren Mackler (Public Fiction), and artist and writer Benjamin Tiven. Presented by ROMA Publications.

2:00 – 3:00pmMuseum of Capitalism with Chiara Bottici, Lester K Spence, Edward Morris, and FICTILIS.
The Museum of Capitalism in Oakland, California, treats capitalism as a historical phenomenon. This speculative institution views the present and recent past from the implied perspective of a future society in which our economic and political system is memorialized, and subjected to the museological gaze. Join us for a reading and discussion by contributors to Museum of Capitalism (Inventory Press, 2017) around the intersections of ecology, race, museology, historiography, economics, and politics. Presented by Inventory Press.

3:00 – 4:00pmHUGH STEERS 2017 with Sam McKinniss, Bryson Rand & Ursula Davila-Villa, presented by Visual AIDS
Visual AIDS hosts a discussion with painter Sam McKinniss, photographer Bryson Rand and art historian Ursula Davila-Villa, highlighting the contemporary influence of painter Hugh Steers on a younger generation of artists and creatives. Hugh Steers: The Complete Paintings, published by Visual AIDS, is the first monograph focused on the career of American figurative painter Hugh Steers (1962–1995), whose life was cut short by AIDS at the age of 32. Unique among painters, Steers consciously brought AIDS, intimacy, and the body into the traditional vocabulary of painting, and his figurative painting style continues to speak to political and personal issues around HIV/AIDS, healthcare, and sexuality. This beautiful hardcover monograph features over 600 full-color images of Steers’ paintings and includes a foreword by Dale Peck and essays by Cynthia Carr and James Smalls, along with a complete exhibition history and bibliography. Presented by Visual AIDS

4:00 – 5:00pmThe Wandering Lake by Patty Chang
A performative slide lecture by Patty Chang celebrating the release of The Wandering Lake, an artist’s book accompanying her exhibition at the Queens Museum. Chang’s travelogue combines writings and photographs in a personal, associative, narrative meditation on mourning, caregiving, and landscape. Followed by a conversation with writer, editor, performer, and critic Claudia La Rocco and introduced by curator Hitomi Iwasaki. Presented by Dancing Foxes Press.

5:00 – 6:00pmPrinter Prosthetic: Futura, with Federico Pérez Villoro and Christopher Hamamoto
Federico Pérez Villoro and Christopher Hamamoto discuss their new publication Printer Prosthetic: Futura, an “intervened reprint” of Hansjörg Mayer’s seminal Futura pamphlet series. Using a custom 3D-printed mechanism to manipulate the encoder strip of a desktop printer, the artists reworked the collection of 26 concrete works into a new abstracted form. Together with curator and art historian Roxana Fabius, the conversation will explore facets of the project as it relates to Concrete Poetry, the elasticity of words on a printed page, and the ties between meaning and reproduction techniques. Published as part of Printed Matter’s Emerging Artists Publication Series. Presented by Printed Matter, Inc.

6:00 – 7:00pmShade the King by Rindon Johnson
A reading to launch Shade the King, a paperback collection of poems by Rindon Johnson with illustrations by Ser Serpas, published by Capricious. Readings from Rindon Johnson, Ser Serpas, Shiv Kotecha and Diamond Stingily, with conversation to follow.

8:00 – 9:00pm Draw This by Benjamin Gable
Occasionally in life, it’s nice to be told what to do. Soft City Printing invites you to a performative drawing session in conjunction with Draw This by Benjamin Gable. With prompts to draw “a new letter in the alphabet that represents the “th” sound,” “a portrait of a cousin that you rarely think about,” or “three items you wish were in your pocket right now,” Draw This is the ultimate antidote for the uninspired. Responses will be collected on site and a second edition of the book will be produced with the drawings. Presented by Soft City Printing.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24

12:00 – 1:00pmWERE IT AS IF with Bik Van der Pol
Artists Bik Van der Pol discuss their latest publication with Witte de With Publishers. The book follows their exhibition WERE IT AS IF at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, and includes different views enlisting the power, and value over time, of fragments and traces as springs of provocation. What does it mean to form a “collection of traces” of a contemporary art institute? Can staging a history through exhibition fragments be seen as an act of resistance pitting against the constant task of accumulation?

1:00 – 2:00pmCompanion, with Julie Peeters
A presentation by graphic designer and editor Julie Peeters on Companion, a quarterly publication series, which Kunstverein München has produced in collaboration with Roma Publications since April 2015. These publications are presented in conjunction with the exhibitions at Kunstverein München and present the artists’ work more suitable for the printed page. Books that have been published so far include: Karel Martens, Hamburger Eyes, Jos De Gruyter & Harald Theys, Ola Vasiljeva, Dexter Sinister, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven and more.

3:00 – 4:00pmStarving Artists Cookbook, Paul Lamarre and Melissa Wolf with Anthony Haden Guest, Donald Goddard, Betty Tompkins, Bill Mutter, David Sandlin, Bonnie Sherk and Maynard Monrow.
Paul Lamarre and Melissa Wolf began the Starving Artists Cookbook project by producing a series of video verité kitchen portraits in the East Village during the late 1980s. By turns playful and profoundly serious, it was also an elegy of sorts. New York was gentrifying, HIV/AIDS was exacting a horrific toll on the city’s cultural fabric, and the intimate ‘art world’ was metamorphosing into the global ‘art market.’ After the duo had completed more than 160 such portraits and collected original recipes and food-related artworks from an extraordinary roster of artists and gallerists, Lamarre and Wolf’s project culminated in a limited-edition artists’ book and a ten-hour video series, which was screened over multiple nights at Anthology Film Archives in 1989. Today, Food Sex Art | The Starving Artists’ Cookbook Archive provides a time-capsule view of culinary practices among the City’s creative class during an era of profound transitions. This program reunites Lamarre and Wolf with project participants for gossip, stories and anecdotes about their experiences at the time and the role that cooking and dining with friends, lovers, and collaborators played (and might still play) in their creative lives. Presented by Arthur Fournier in collaboration with EIDIA House.

4:00 – 5:00pmAdult Contemporary, with Amelia Bande, Lisa Cohen & Clara López Menéndez.
Adult Contemporary is a mobile reading and performance series founded in 2013 by Katherine Brewer Ball and Svetlana Kitto. We ask artists, academics, performers, and writers to “read” in whatever way they see fit; to play off each other; to self-determine; to use the platform to experiment in form; to give us words, movements, sounds or textures. Adult Contemporary is a salon-style site of experimentation, genre collapse and extra-ordinary conversation. Our events are always free and open to the public. This September will mark the launch of Adult Contemporary 01, a journal of art and literature.

5:00-6:00pmTaxi ! تاكسي , with Sarah Alfarhan
Fair attendees are invited to attend a workshop presented by Brownbook Magazine, an urban guide to the Middle East and North Africa, along with illustrator and designer Sarah Alfarhan. Everyone is invited to contribute by writing on or illustrating a Risograph-printed card surrounding the theme of taxis; this can be anything from a scenic route to a memorable taxi driver or ride you have taken. Brownbook will also be exhibiting a collection of their most prized issues in celebration of their 10-year anniversary, including the recent 64th issue which is themed Taxis.

6:00-7:00pmP!DF by Prem Krishnamurthy
Event organized by Prem Krishnamurthy & David Reinfurt (remote)
Performed by Thea Westreich & David Edward Knowles (local)
P!DF is a genre-bending, interactive app by designer & curator Prem Krishnamurthy, programmed & published by O-R-G, that juxtaposes aspects of memoir, portfolio deck, multidisciplinary manifesto, and speculative science fiction pedagogical prospectus. The premiere of this ever-updating monograph takes the form of a performative presentation, following the desires and prompts of the audience—who will choose the ultimate direction for the future.

1:00 – 2:00pmWELCOME! NEW YORK ARCHITECTURE BOOK FAIR, with Benjamin Aranda, Craig Buckley, Kersten Geers, James Graham, Lydia Kallipoliti, Dominic Leong, and Christian Wassman. Moderated by Alexandra Cunningham and Eva Franch.
In June 2018, Storefront for Art and Architecture will present the New York Architecture Book Fair. This event marks the launch of a ten-month series of discussions and programs aimed at reflecting upon the last thirty five years of architecture book production in a global context. With an archeological and projective twist, the New York Architecture Book Fair seeks to both celebrate and evaluate the published and the missing volumes of a history still in the writing. With a Global Survey of Architecture Books, the Book of Architecture Books, and a series of events in New York City (including salons in the home libraries of New York architects, a network of pop up architecture selections within local bookstores, and an exhibition at Storefront’s gallery space), this first edition of the New York Architecture Book Fair aims to agitate the discussion and debate in and around architecture books. To help us identify some of the publications (both real and fictional) that should be the fundamental references of our global contemporary culture, this event will present the views of contemporary architects and critics.

2:00 – 3:00pmArtists Who Make Books: Connecting the past with the present, with Andrew Roth, Philip Aarons, Claire Lehmann, and Christophe Cherix, Josh Smith and Benjamin Buchloh.
This event celebrates the launch of Artists Who Make Books, a new fully-illustrated reference book edited by Andrew Roth, Philip Aarons and Claire Lehmann, co-published by PPP Editions and Phaidon Press. Featuring artists’ books from the mid-twentieth century to the present, the publication focuses on artists who integrate book-making into their larger practice and the connectivity of early conceptually-based works with those created by contemporary artists. Christophe Cherix will moderate a discussion with the book’s editors and Benjamin Buchloh.

3:00 – 4:00pmELLEN CANTOR: I’m Still Coming Screening and Talk
To mark the publication of Capricious’s ELLEN CANTOR: I’m Still Coming, EAI and Capricious present a screening of film and video work by artists originally featured in Cantor’s groundbreaking 1993 exhibition Coming to Power: 25 Years of Sexually X-Plicit Art by Women. Cantor’s own video work will screen, along with film and video by Peggy Ahwesh, Cheryl Dunye, Barbara Hammer, Carolee Schneemann, and others. An informal talk with I’m Still Coming editors and co-curators of the 2016 re-staging of Coming to Power, Pati Hertling and Julie Tolentino, about late friend, artist and provocateur Cantor will follow – taking in their own 2016 re-staging of her Coming to Power exhibition, their new publication, performances, archival materials, and feminist writers – then and now. Presented by Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and Capricious.

4:00 – 5:00pmWank Bank Masterclass by Adam Seymour
The Australian artist who created an art book from his happy ending massages in New York City, brings you an informative, interactive and playful masterclass of original techniques to perfect the art of handling your partner’s member (or even your own). Enjoy waves of adolescent laughter and be prepared to end up in a hilarious circle jerk with carrots and cucumbers.

5:00 – 6:00pmBooks and Ideas after Seth Siegelaub, with Michalis Pichler James Hoff, Eric Doeringer and David Platzker
Michalis Pichler’s Books and Ideas after Seth Siegelaub (co-published by the Center For Book Arts and Sternberg Press) spans an arc of tension between the works of Seth Siegelaub and contemporary cultural production. It features an interview with Seth Siegelaub, two essays, and an extensively illustrated catalogue with bibliographic details. Books by Siegelaub are often taken as starting points for new projects, which are derivative and yet substantial artworks in their own right. Also, Siegelaub’s engagement with the Art Workers’ Coalition and subsequent draft of The Artist’s Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement has had wide reception and reaction in contemporary art and activism. Most of the people who do revisit Siegelaub at this point are “book people” of some sort, bibliophiles, librarians, artists who do books and people who have a track record in appropriation. Pichler moderates a discussion with James Hoff, Eric Doeringer and David Platzker about Siegelaub’s work and influence.

The NY Art Book Fair is pleased to host a number of exhibitions at this year’s event. The varied exhibitions range in subject matter, from survey collections of works by individuals significant to the artist’s book medium, to curated presentations of historical ephemera.

PPP Editions presents Artists Who Make Books: Connecting the past with the present. An exhibition presenting highlights of artists’ books that are discussed in depth in Artists Who Make Books, the new fully-illustrated reference book edited by Andrew Roth, Philip Aarons and Claire Lehmann, co-published by PPP Editions and Phaidon Press. Featuring artists’ books from the mid-Twentieth Century to the present, the exhibition will focus on artists who integrate book-making into their larger practice and the connectivity of early conceptually-based works with those created by contemporary artists. The exhibition will include Andy Warhol’s A Gold Book; Hans-Peter Feldmann’s Bilderhefte; Hanne Darboven’s Welttheater 79; Martin Kippenberger’s T.O.T.; Christopher Wool’s Cats in Bags Bags in River, and Josh Smith’s New York Death Trip 3, to name just a few.

Boo-Hooray presents Posters from the Paddington Printshop. The Paddington Printshop was founded by John Phillips and friends in 1974. This printshop became a model for community activist printshops across the UK in the 1970’s. The Paddington Printshop produced posters for the burgeoning squatters rights movement, for community resources, and for acts of social and political activism in the center of London in the mid-1970’s for over a decade onward. The posters are visually striking examples of silkscreen and stencil printing at its most vibrant.

Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare presentsFOOD-SEX-ART | The Starving Artists’ Cookbook, a project that began as an effort on the parts of downtown artists Paul Lamarre and Melissa Wolf, a.k.a. EIDIA House, to draw an intimate, subterranean food map of New York City’s creative communities between the years of 1986 and 1991. Now, the duo’s archive of 150 video-verité culinary portraits, original artworks, handwritten recipes, and manuscript correspondence with contributors including Gilbert & George, Carolee Schneemann, Marilyn Minter, John Cage, John Sex, Tony Conrad, Louise Bourgeois and others forms the basis of this special exhibition about cooking as intimacy in daily life during the late 1980s – at the height of the HIV-AIDS crisis, as the city was rapidly gentrifying, and the art world was metamorphosing into the art market.

Gagosian is pleased to present a special Project Space conceived by Sterling Ruby at the 2017 NY Art Book Fair. Ruby, a multidisciplinary artist with a broad international following, extends his work beyond the sphere of fine art. From architectural transformations to apparel, Ruby translates the transgressive and material impact of his painting and sculpture into interventions that intersect the worlds of fashion and mass media. For Gagosian’s project space, Ruby has created an immersive environment that will include a selection of rare books, editions, as well as catalogues of his recent exhibitions, published by Gagosian.

Marian Goodman Gallery presents a special installation of work by the French artist Annette Messager. From the 1970s onward, Messager’s work has been known for a diversity of form and subject matter, ranging from the personal to the fictional, the social to the universal. Her installation here focuses on matters of the female body and a concern that women’s desire — and especially their ability to openly express it — continues to be met with resistance, and is being held back. Through her drawings of dynamic uteruses and triumphant breasts, Messager offers a partial response to this issue. The exhibition will commemorate the launch of Les uterus fleurissent, a new limited edition leporello-style book.

Onestar press / Three Star presents three new Camera Artist portfolios by Daniel Gordon, Carter Mull, and Terri Weifenbach – each a new photographic work accompanied by an artist book housed in handcrafted cases; Lawrence Weiner graces our room with a special project, As Often As Not, and from our world of artists’ books, Lucy Bull presents a selection of her drawings and painterly works in Plume; Parker Ito brings forth a self-referential work in Parker Ito with gold leafing that reveals surprise text when manipulated; Elizabeth Jaeger presents objects from dearest and nearest featured in In Case Of Fire, and Honza Zamojski returns with his latest edition, The Fear, alongside a select series of the artist’s original drawings. And make sure to check out Three Star Books’ latest edition from the indelible world of Jonathan Monk.

Sequence Press presents new titles by Marina van Zuylen, Blake Rayne, and Rochelle Goldberg, and is pleased to feature R. H. Quaytman‘s limited edition Orchard Spreadsheet, which lists every transaction that took place during the three-year life of Orchard, the artist-run gallery on the Lower East Side of New York City. As a founding member, the artist takes a self-reflective look at the fiscal evolution of the collaborative enterprise. Quaytman calls the print “a landscape,” and has built it up as such: a dizzying topography of black and white stripes that produce an optical effect, rendering quasi-illegible the detailed list of information — an illusion of transparency.

Slow Culture & Deadbeat Club are proud to present THE FOTOMAT. A pop-up installation paying homage to vintage drive-thru photo kiosks with actual 24 hour film developing services. Photographer friends will be guest clerks and sell exclusive prints to the fair. Also available will be film & photography accessories, zines, photo books and other photo related ephemera.

Supportico Lopez will present an exhibition of materials from Archivio and Edizioni Conz. Since July 2017 Supportico Lopez represents Archivio Conz. Francesco Conz (1935 – 2010, Verona – Italy) was a publisher and a collector of neo-avantgardes: Fluxus, Viennese Actionism, Zaj, Lettrism, concrete poetry, sound poetry and Gorgona. Archivio Conz consists in original works from Conz’s personal collection and the precious multiples produced for the Edizioni Conz, from 1971 until 2010. The archive today is located in Berlin-Charlottenburg and includes almost 5000 works, between the collection and the editions.

Werkplaats Typografie presents Approaches to what? It’s time to reflect and question things. Particularly the common goods. Those certain ones, which make the personal cravings of materiality reach the abstract and inner landscape of values. What is it about these t-shirts, records, benches, fish tanks, lamps, wine books, bike rain covers, natural pigments, agendas, playing cards and therapy bowls of ours? Is it reflections of market movements, guilty pleasures, memorabilia? Werkplaats Typografie will present an inventory of items, exhausted and for sale. See you in the boiler room.

7:00 – 8:00pm, Basement Theatrebook, with Nemo Librizzi and Jim Jarmusch
If Nemo Librizzi is a new name for many readers, for some New Yorkers on the downtown scene he is already a veteran novelist. Among the first to appreciate his work filmmaker Jim Jarmusch discovered his novella Hot & Cold Heroes in 1991 and has encouraged Nemo to stay on the path ever since. Paradigm is proud to present his latest project, book to the larger reading public: an autobiographical picaresque in vignette form, ripped from the pages of Facebook. Jarmusch will be speaking with the author about where he is from, and what makes book a unique and relevant document for our times. Presented by Paradigm Publishing.
